August 2^nd, 2024 Hiked a lit­tle more around the niegh­bor­hood but cross over the to the nice walk by the new hos­pi­tal 58:19 min­untes 1.57 miles 20lb back pack

August 4^th, 2024 Weightli­fit­ing, main­ly squats to build up that leg strength

august 5^th, 2024 2.66 miles 1:33 hours 20lb back back in the sting­ing rain at Fol­ly Beach as Hur­ri­cane Der­by is pour­ing down on me I am read­ing that the best way to train for the AT is hike. So got a back­pack that hold weight and two hik­ing poles and have start­ing hik­ing, exer­cis­ing again. It feels good just hav­ing to focus putting one foot ahead of the oth­er. I also read that to get a sense of what hik­ing on the At is like is to hike when it rain­ing. It is ran­ing where we are right now. Mac has insist­ed we stay and ride the storm out so i went our­side. All i hear is rush­ing wind and the rain pelt­ing my hat. The wind is blow­ing so hard that the rain stings when it hits my skin. I am not unhap­py out here.

The next day today Is august 6^th. I take my first Zero. My legs are blown out and tired. Tomor­row morn­ing. I will get in as much hik­ing as my legs will allow and then more the day after until I have to back to work
